B800k savings? - get your tax refund
connda replied to 10years's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Given the absurdly low interest rates, it's better to file three years at a time. I haven't even bothered for over a decade. When I first got here I was getting 4%. Then it went to peanuts and isn't worth filing. Now - with the global banking crisis on the horizon, banks may actually need to start paying interest to attract deposits. Remember back in the day when commercial banks actually wanted deposits to lean out as loans. <laughs> Now they just wave a magical wand over a bank loan and "Voila!" - Money! Who needs depositors? Deposits and interest are just liabilities on the bank's books. -

I notice that gold went up 2000 THB over the last two week. Bank failures, hyperinflation. Yeah - maybe. I bought a token amount six years ago to HODL. If it goes to $1 million USD per token - then cash is trash. Invest in wheel-barrows and hand carts.

My stepson and his live-in just when there for a vacation. He posted pictures on Facebook. That's as close to Phuket as I personally want to be. -

Good to hear. They'll replace all the farangs being handed "Yellow" and "Red" cards. -
Cue up The Yellow Rose Of Texas and turn the dial to "11" on the Spinal Tap volume control. Insert ear-plugs, grab a few beers, and enjoy!

Chuwit right in the face of "marijuana mad" BJT as they rally in Bangkok

But soapy massage parlors are OK. Especially when you owned them. Dude's got a horrendous case of mixed moral relativism. -
I have a solution: Mexico!

Exactly. My thought too (posted above) - you're right over the target imho. ????

Watch out. My wife would have excoriated her brother including demanding compensation. You wife isn't being "Thai." She is working against you - farang. My wife's brothers and sisters don't come over or allowed on the property without an invite. They don't supervise any the the construction projects we've done over the last decade. They have their own land and houses. So you better ask yourself "Why am I the 'odd-man out'?" I'd stop right now and reassess your marriage before you're over your head (possibly literally in the back woods somewhere). My wife wouldn't stand for this, soooo - Occum's Razor - the family is working together and you are not obviously a part of the family, but just the source of funds. Best of luck. But? Personally it sounds like you are being taken for a ride.

What kind of visa will military aged men use to stay in Thailand 'indefinitely?' My guess is that they will find that to be a bit of a problem.

Go to your Amphur office where your marriage is on file and request a Kor Ror 2. As simple as that.

It's a PIA but honestly. It's not a "Stack of Paperwork." After 15 years I've got is down pat although I do post yearly to see if there have been any changes. UbonJoe is excellent about keeping us to date. Now, if you're applying for a extension of stay based on a business. Omg. That's a stack of paperwork.

The 5 ‘Fs’ of Soft Power touted by Tourism Minister

It's a hard problem with soft enforcement so..... fire, fire, fire, fire, fire - and smoke. -
I can recommend this. It also comes in a 0.3 solution also, but I haven't tried that. The one pictured is 200 THB in our Big-C pharmacy. The 0.3 solution is around 350 THB. I can recommend this. I use Natear which is basically saline solution (or just buy a big bottle of 0.9% saline and rinse your eyes first to get the grit out, let them dry out for 5 minutes of so, and then apply one or two drops of Hialid. Best of luck.
